When renovating a HDB resale unit that you are staying in, planning to move out or move your stuff to storage depends on the extent of works that you plan to carry out.

The masonry works can be very dusty if you are staying inside. And the furniture can be in the way of the renovation works and get very dirty or even damaged from the works.

Having an option of staying at another place during the renovation would definitely be the best, especially when you are doing works to the whole unit. This can of course also put strain on your finances if the alternative place is a rental.

You can overcome this by having a concrete plan on what you plan to do, how you can break it down into different parts and working closely with your contractor on the best way to execute the plan.

My personal opinion for a whole house revamp of a HDB unit that you are staying in. It will be best to give at least 2 months for the whole process. Stay at another place during the renovation, and put your bulky items into a storage space. This will give the contractors faster access to the place and easier management of the timeline for their works.

Ismail was moving over into a bigger place from his existing. And he is a family friend. His project was just after covid, where we were still in the midst of restrictions. Having a great team helps with delivering projects on time.

Newlyweds Kaysen & Nadia, had just bought their 3 room BTO resale, and we revamped the whole house for them. From hacking, combining their dining, kitchen and service yard. Tiling for their toilets and whole house vinyl flooring. This project was a little emotional for us as one of them had gone through a renovation nightmare before, when his parents renovated recently. We had assured him that we were not a fly by night contractor, and our Project Manager had personally committed to an undertaking to complete the project within the agreed timeline.

Khairil is an old friend. We've known each other since primary school. When he wanted to spruce up his place for last raya, he reached out to us for a quote. Initially he wanted to change to a new kitchen as well, but decided against it as it was too near to Raya. So we proceeded for hacking of existing laminate flooring for the whole house, painting, and herringbone vinyl flooring for the whole house. This was done while the place is full up to the brim with furniture. And we managed to pull this off in 1 week through a tightly managed project schedule. Reach out to us and see how you can benefit from our expertise.

Jolene's husband, Kumar had contacted us through Facebook. We discussed a little bit about their needed renovation, and arranged to meet at the unit to finalize the works. Kumar had put his trust in us since the beginning, as he had sensed we were sharing truthfully about the renovation even when the contract was not awarded to us yet. He appreciated us for this, and we completed his resale EA in Jurong West within the agreed timeline even though there were delays caused by their vanity supplier. They were a very pleasant couple to work with, and we are very happy to have helped them realise their dream home.

Lennie was a mentor when we joined BNI Champions. Coincidentally, his in laws needed to spruce up their unit for rental. We started by clearing the space out, revamping the whole kitchen, rewiring the unit and finishing it off with a fresh coat of paint. Happy and grateful that this had helped them get a very good price for their rental. Not forgetting of course, the agent that was tasked to find the perfect tenants did an amazing job marketing the unit.

Puan Liza was helping her aunt to search for a renovation contractor. Her aunt needed to update her Ikea kitchen that is already failing. The project was nearing end of the year period, and we helped them to create the quote within 24hrs. They were decisive and we scheduled for the work. In the midst of the project, her aunt decided to also add flooring works for her kitchen. And everything was done within 1mth 1wk, with additional glass backing works as well. Another happy handover achieved.
